Do you want to help us motivate the European youth to participate in the upcoming European Elections? With your help, we can bring Y Vote to your city! We believe that anyone anywhere can start an activity which falls under the scope of the Y Vote project. Our goal? Motivate people to vote for the 2024 European Elections, encourage youth to use their voice and foster a European sense of identity.
We want to encourage young people, individually or in groups, to think about what they can do on a local level to bring the 2024 European Elections closer to the people in their surroundings. We will organise together what we call Local Actions which are an essential part of the Y Vote project. Local Actions are local or national events, initiated by young people, with a diverse format, from workshops, panel discussions, and book clubs to pub quizzes, cultural exchanges or street actions. You can organise one!
Do you have an idea for a Local Action encouraging youth participation around the 2024 European Elections campaign and do you plan to submit it to our form? Here is the process of getting involved with the Y Vote Project!
1
Do you already have an idea of an event or a campaign? Then sign up to the form and let us know! If you don’t know what you would like to do, don’t worry! We have lots of ideas for you!
2
As soon as you submit your idea or willingness to get involved in the form, our team will contact you by email. We will talk more about your idea and how we can help as a project team.
3
The last step will be to turn your idea into reality and with our help (if you need it, of course), to organise a Local Action in your city. Even if you don’t need us, we would love to know about it and promote it!
What do we actually mean by “bringing Y Vote to your city?”
In Passau, a group of motivated students has come together to organise a big election night party on campus on the 26 of May 2019.
In 2019, in the wake of the European elections, Benni organised a panel discussion about the future of the EU.
How do you convince others to vote? Get on a bus or organise a street action! Get inspired by young people in Tallinn and their local action in 2019!
